As is well known, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal did not initiate the early elections in France – it was President Emmanuel Macron – but the leader’s party friend is now bearing the consequences. Attal announced his resignation on the night of the elections.
“In accordance with republican tradition and my principles, I will submit my resignation to the president tomorrow,” Attal said in Paris on Sunday. The president is free to accept the resignation or not.
However, it is very possible that Macron will leave the cabinet as an interim government for the time being, at least until after the Olympic Games in France, which end on August 11. There have already been rejections from the government camp for a left-wing prime minister: Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin stressed that no one can say for the time being that he has won – “certainly not Mr. Mélenchon”. Macron does not want to make any decisions for the time being and will wait for the composition of the new National Assembly, as was said from the Elysée.
Left Front has no candidate for prime minister
The left-wing parties, including the Socialists, the Communists and the Greens, surprisingly formed an alliance before the first round of the parliamentary elections, despite many differences. However, they could not agree on a common candidate for the office of Prime Minister.
